Opening Titles Clip
Camera is used in many different ways within the clip in order to create different feelings, especially the feeling of tension. Many techniques are used within the opening sequence including close up shots. The close up shots add feelings of tension and suspense as they give an uncomfortable view of the subject shown upon the screen.
Sound is also used during the opening sequence again to add a tense feeling. The fast and loud music adds tension straight away as it brings feelings of excitement, intrigue and anxiousness to any viewer. The music also helps to reflect the thriller feel due to the feelings it creates within it's audiences.
During the sequence, there are many different editing techniques that are present. One example of this is the fast cuts that are used throughout the sequence. By using the fast cuts, the speed of the opening sequence becomes faster and therefore, adds excitement and tension through the fast moving objects and subjects.
Although many aspects of mise en scene aren't present during this opening sequence, the lighting within the clip clearly helps to reflect the feeling of tension. The low key lighting not only reflects the thriller genre that the film belongs to, buts a scary and mysterious feel to the clip because of the dark colours and shadows that are created.

All of the titles are set in a black font and written in a capital format. The colour and formant used for the titles helps to reflect the hardness of the film and its content. The text also makes a large impact on screen when it appears due to the format. The titles also quiver in and out on screen. This could reflect the plot of the movie, representing hope and failure throughout the film. When the movie title appears, the text turns to red and is larger and more centred on screen. The red colour could reflect the danger of the protagonist and help show the importance of him. The larger text has a larger impact on the screen due to it's size, this could have been changed to again, show the importance of the main character.
